fished out 0 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Could small singles work for little minnows? I have some long skinny (maybe 65-70mm) minnows, but they don't have hooks. I bought them at a garage sale in a big resealable bag full of lures i got for 50 cents, believe it or not i got a rapala count down in there aswell! Would small J hooks or suicides work, or are there specialist singles out their. I used one last night over an extremely shallow weed bed, just twiting it over and through, but got hammered by 4-5 25cm redfin each cast. But no hooks = no hook ups.Please give me a hand. Thanks in advance guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
talbo 0 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Why not put some size 14 or 12 trebles on them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rooboy123 9 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 These could be what you're after. They have the eye inline with the hookhttp://www.sportfishingscene.com.au/products-page/featured/decoy-pluggin-single-27/I'm sure other brands have the same style as well.
